• Synchronized: Displays workflows that have been deployed to a Controller and Agent. Such workflows are considered in sync between inventory and Controller.
• Not Synchronized: Displays workflows that are not available with a Controller as they have not been deployed or have been revoked. No orders can be added such workflows.
• Suspended: Displays workflows in the suspended or suspending status.

Status Operations on Workflows

Suspend

The operation to suspend a workflow includes that

• orders running in the workflow will be frozen after they complete their current processing step.
  • This implies that orders are not cancelled and running tasks for jobs are not killed.
• orders scheduled for execution of the workflow that reach their start time while the workflow is suspended will wait until the workflow is resumed.
• orders that are added to the workflow for execution at a point in time while the workflow is suspended will wait until the workflow is resumed.
  • This applies to orders added from the Workflows view.
  • This applies to file orders added from JS7 - File Watching.

The Suspend operation is available from a workflow's action menu:

As a result of this operation the workflow will switch to the suspended status:

• The orange status button indicates suspension.
• Orders running in the workflow switch to the in Progress state to indicate that they are frozen.

The operation to suspend a workflow can include a number of Agents:

• Should different Agents be used in a workflow and should one of them not be available then the workflow remains in the suspending status until all Agents confirm suspension.
• If orders are added to a suspending workflow with an unavailable Agent then they switch to the blocked state.
• Orders in the in Progress or blocked state will be continued when the workflow is resumed.

Resume
